Glad I rented it instead of buying it

I thought this game was the worst. We put it in the PS2 and after about 5 minutes took it out and returned it to Kozmo.

All you do, is gather like objects together with the X and then set them off for a fireworks display with the O. There is competition, but this is NOTHING like Tetris.

WASTE OF TIME.

This game is horrible

I'd give this game 0 stars if that was possible. The graphics were pretty good, yes. But if you've played one level in this game, don't get frustrated about not getting far, they're all the same. I played this for 5 minutes, thought wow this is cool, played it for 5 more, and realized how much it really ...(stunk). Waste of $, don't let anybody pay you to buy it, or rent it for that matter.

Incompatable software.

I must be the only person that has ever tried this game using a digital optical cable for the sound. All of my audio jacks are already spoken for on my TV, so I pump the sound through my digital receiver (this is the only way I can have my PS2 hooked up). For some insane reason, the programmers of the game decided to NOT have the sound out-putted through the digital optical jack. I've troubleshooted the problem, and it is not a hardware problem, but a software defect. I've also spoken with Sony tech support (ignorance MUST be their motto) numerous times on the subject, and they know next to nothing about this deficiency. Apparently, Sony is selling game software that is not fully compatable with their own system. Gradius 3+4 also has this same defect (the opening demo movie works fine, no sound anywhere else though). I simply can't understand how all of my PS1 games have sound in my PS2, but 2 of the 5 games I own that were made specificly for the PS2, do not. If you use the optical jack on your PS2 for your sound exclusively, I would advise you to be cautious in your game purchases. Renting first or buying from retailers with flexible return policies could save you some headaches. I was excited to try Fantavision, but I find a game about fireworks (or any video game) to be ZERO FUN without sound effects and music.

Save your money

This game is soooooo boring i fell asleep playing it! The only thing good about it is it's replay feature which lets you sit and watch a firework show, but other than that this game has no objective. I never thought fireworks could be this boring.

Awful game with no point.

This game is as boring as it is short. All it is is just a fireworks show. I love fireworks, but not virtual ones. I should sell this game. Maybe someone will pick it up for $20.00. LIke I said, pointless, boring, unexciting.

P.O.S. game

I rented this game a week ago and it held my interest for about 5 tries. It is very boring, there is no addictive quality to it, much like tetris, capturing the fireworks with the analog stick is a pain, and basically it stinks. I contemplated buying it a while back when there was no good games to buy (exception of Madden and SSX), but I am glad I didn't waste my money.

terrible game

The graphics in this game are really good but thats not what a game should be rated on, it is how much fun it is. All that goes on in this game is to fire lights at airplanes and other areal objects

Looks better than it really is

This game I bought used, but I'm ready to rid myself of it. The graphics are OK, but the amount of play it takes you to master this game is pathetic. I beat the game after only 10 minutes of plays and Game Overs. Even the HARD MODE wasn't, ummm, hard. The part that really got on my nerves was that you can't save your game on say, level 6, turn off the system, start it back up, and have it load your save. Even if it only saved when I got the extra options, I'd be satisfied, but it couldn't even do that. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!!!!

Better than I thought it would be, but short ....

Fantavision was quite a lot more fun than I originally thought it would be. I found the puzzle gameplay addictive, and I hate Tetris (so that's saying something for this game). There are only 8 levels in the game though, and I was watching credits after approximately 1.5 hours of gameplay, no kidding. I was disappointed with the scarcity of different levels (you basically capture fireworks over a city, then in space, then near the moon--that's basically it. After you beat the 8 levels, the game unlocks an Extra menu which lets you play the levels again, only with more difficulty. Because of the two-player mode, and two extra menus, the game has limitless gameplay in theory, but I would have liked to see a bit more in the levels department--I just felt cheated after playing straight through the game on my fourth or fifth try. The game feels more like an experiment or lengthy demo than a full-fledged game. Also, minus the very cool backgrounds, the actual gameplay could have been ATARI 2600. The game isn't that impressive minus the scrolling backgrounds. (The background graphics are impressive though)
